Sharks continue to evoke more fear than sypmathy,
Roughly 60 incidents occur each year,
Not true attacks,
Sharks mistake human limbs for fish,
Its not shark bites man,
Rather man bites shark.
Someone was holding me,
They pulled me backwards into the air,
They flung me forward,
I rolled like a lightning bolt,
Someone kicked me really hard,
I began falling towards the ground,
People were rushing around below me,
Everyone had their arms out,
Somebody caught me!
I was safe but the kicker was out.

"Found" Poem

Finning,
Sharks are caught,
Their dirsal fins are removed,
Dried fins command high price in Asia,
Thousands of sharks are killed,
Nearly as many trophies taken,
The carcasses were simply wasted.
Sharks continue to evoke more fear than sypmathy,
Roughly 60 incidents occur each year,
Not true attacks,
Sharks mistake human limbs for fish,
Its not shark bites man,
Rather man bites shark.
Metaphor Poem
The Ocean
By: Austin ©
A marker,
A folder,
A blue book,
A tote cover,
The horizontal lines on a blank sheet of paper,
The sky with no clouds,
A blue car,
Selsun blue shampoo,
Blood waiting to reach the air,
A soft blue blanket,
Blue jeans,
Some peoples eyes,
A blue shirt, Mrs. McLean's room, March 30, 2009, Study Hall.
Point of view poem
Mattball kick
By: Austin ©
I stepped up to the plate,
The ball came rolling towards me,
It rolled as fast as a car goes,
I slowly stepped forward,
I took a deep breath,
My foot swung back like a baseball bat,
Then shot forward,
The ball flew off of my shoe,
I got ready to run,
I started forward it was a great kick,
Somebody yelled "Yes!"
I was out...
Someone was holding me,
They pulled me backwards into the air,
They flung me forward,
I rolled like a lightning bolt,
Someone kicked me really hard,
I began falling towards the ground,
People were rushing around below me,
Everyone had their arms out,
Somebody caught me!
I was safe but the kicker was out.
"Voice Poem"
By: Austin ©
I was born in Massachusetts,
When i was young i went to South Carolina,
In North Carolina i began kindergarten,
I moved North to Massachusetts,
I went to Connecticut,
I moved many times in Connecticut,
I am Italian,
My great-great-grandparents came over on a boat,
My whole family is 100% Italian,
All the way down to me,
Im a video gamer,
I can beat any game,
I like almost all video games
This is my voice poem.
